D.I.Y Disco Pants. (Shanice)

So this is just a post with the different steps it took me to transform a pair of neglected dance pants into a much wanted pair of DISCO PANTS!! Do you wanna know how I did it? Well keep your eye balls on this page haha.

Just one small thing I almost forgot to say is that, there are probably better ways of doing this but I just chose to do it this way.

I snipped off the excess fabric on both legs, turned the pants inside out, so now it's ready to wear!

So that's what the disco pants look like on. I have to say that these are a little bit big for me; on the legs slightly, but mainly on the thigh area. Also between the hips and waist is loose. I would say that these pants are a size 12 so that's probably why. But it's not too big of a problem.

But I do really like the sheen of the fabric (although in the picture it looks matte) and the way it makes my legs look slightly slimmer and I'm a sucker for high waisted! I'm quite pleased with the end result. I've got a pair of disco pants :)

SOME MORE OF MY D.I.Y 'd ITEMS WILL BE POSTED HERE SOON

So on Bank Holiday Monday, my sister and I set out on our quest to look for a new skate park - Yes i'm making it sound more interesting than it was. So we eventually found it and we decided to take some snaps for a new post as well as skating around a little bit.
 Better yet the weather has been getting sunnier and hotter so I thought i'd showcase my the new crop top that I made on the weekend!
I'm addicted to making things! I need to mellow down a bit until the long-lost summer holidays begin.

I'll post all the recent clothing D.I.Ys soon'ish. I know I keep promising but ahh I will!

Big thanks to my sister that takes most of my photos, you're the best! xx

Hey y'all!
I swear, this Varsity Jacket is just amazing! I scored this bad boy at New Look for ONLY £7!! I was just gob-smacked. It was in the sale rack with a few dirt marks on the sleeve, and without tags so the manager sold it to me extremely cheap. I would say she hooked me up. And it's faux leather sleeves make it even more amazing! Ahhh I cannot stress enough how pleased I am. I'm truly blessed haha.... Let me stop now.

This was one of the outfits that we wore during the Easter Holidays, I had completely forgotten that they existed so I brought them out today as a late upload.

Why are there two Yvonne's and a Ghost of me?
Don't worry, it isn't an eye trick - I've just been practicing my editing and cloning skills lately (if I can call it skills yet). It is actually pretty fun experimenting with the different tools. However it is pretty time consuming and I'm still a bit rusty on the edges, It's not perfect but over time it should look sharp with more work..

Leave bellow some comments on what you think?

Just something from the last blog that never got posted. So school is back next week, yep, that's a thing... I do hope my lack of revision doesn't  come back to bite me in the exams..  but only time will tell I guess. I've been trying to save up money to get a sewing machine since negotiations for the ones I was promised last year fell through, but recently I've been inspired to make, alter and just design custom pieces. I think I've definitely got my summer holidays sorted.

T-Shirts (Shanice)

American Flag Beanie - $2 New York
T-Shirt - D.I.Yd
Lee Jeans - £18 Vintage Store

That was the first shirt that I made which was a tester, a prototype.

So here's two other designs I've made recently and more patterns are on their way. There's loads of leopard print ones.
 And because i'm not perfect the shapes will not all be exactly the same, just a little disclaimer.
Oh yh and i'll be doing different designs later on. But i'll just stick with this for now.

But I am selling them for £5 each, so if you're interested, email me! gruntagebaby@gmail.com
or facebook me, if you have me.
